Aidan O'Brien said of his winner
Ruler Of The World " he was
very babyish in his maiden at the Curragh. Going to Chester ,
Joseph ( O'Brien) thought it was a good idea to put cheek pieces on him to help
his concentration, he won very nicely and we didn't think there was any need to
change what worked at Chester
JMC The trauma suffered by DAWN APPROACH spoiled this race. It was a
ghastly horrific and a sad scene to witness, happening to a colt who won his
five starts as a two-year-old so beautifully. Following up as a three-year-old,
this year, he won the 2,000 Guineas
"I knew he could only come on from Chester
"DAWN APPROACH is an
exceptional horse at 5 furlongs and a mile, and was stepping up to a mile and a
half. He was going to have to settle, so it made sense not to go tearing off early in spite of you thinking it was a test of stamina.
"If you go off fast and have nothing left at the end of the
race, a horse like that will go past you, I didn't discuss it but it makes
sense."
O'Brien denied he had set out a strategy to upset Dawn Approach
saying: "We looked at the race and
a lot of horses could do a lot of different things. If we'd wanted to ride a
race to beat Dawn Approach we would have put on an absolutely mad pace. We
didn't because we let all our horses stand by themselves and let what was going
to unfold unfold.
It could be said that all 12 colts who ran in the Derby

PAUSE FOR THOUGHT
JMC: Did you heed David's Derby thoughts in yesterday's Racing Post and back Team O'Brien's Ruler Of The World to win the 2013 Derby at 7-1.? Yes, yes, yes. Did you lay,lay lay Dawn Approach? Yes yes yes? Did you? Or was it all a dream, not a reality?

It's Dawn - time to lay, lay, lay and lay again ....
Pic Sigmund Freud: could have been useful to interpret dream
but no longer around.
"It was just the same with
Martin Luther King; he had a dream, too. His was in 1963, Relko's year, while mine
was last Sunday night.
"At about two in the morning,
I was standing on Epsom Downs, near Tattenham Corner. It wasn't two in the
morning there, it was the afternoon of the Derby Derby
"There was a lot of noise and
somehow I knew that Dawn Approach had won.
"A man, agitated and excited,
almost in a daze, passed by, then turned and stretched out his hand. It was Jim
Bolger, although for some reason he looked like Arthur Moore. That's dreams for
you.
"He didn't really stay,"
Bolger, or possibly Moore, whispered, conspiratorially. It'll be the Champion
Stakes next."
"He stayed well enough to
win," I replied.
"Then Bolger strode off,
towards the stands. Clare Balding must have wondered where he was.
"It was a strange place for
Bolger to have watched the race from but a lot of poetic license is allowed in
dreams. Unfortunately, the license may extend to have dreamt the wrong winner.
"It's a pity the dream wasn't
later in the week, after Magician joined in, then vanished. I've been so sleepy
every night since in the hope that an updated dream would appear, but it
hasn't, and Sigmund Freud isn't available anymore for his interpretation.
"There's no way of knowing
what Freud's position would have been on Chopin or Libertarian or the rest of
the Derby
"Luckily, as anyone who
bothered to read a previous column (Racing Post May 18) will know, it will take
more than a wayward dream to enable Dawn Approach to win the Derby
"There's nothing you can do
about it, except try to believe in reincarnation and hope for better luck next
time.
"Dawn Approach has got the
right genes for winning the 2,000 Guineas-
splendid genes for that - but hopelessly flawed for the Derby
"If the expression doesn't
exist already, I'd like to invent it please.
"It means that, although it's
rather unseemly, the thing to do with Dawn Approach is to lay him, then lay him
again. When you've got nothing left to lay him with, ask to see your bank
manager, explain the situation, and lay Dawn Approach with your new overdraft.
Obviously, that's only if you want to make a profit. If you don't, then it's
probably best to back Dawn Approach on the basis that it's better to have loved
and lost than never have loved at all. .
"Dismissing Dawn Approach is
the easy bit. Picking the winner is more difficult and Joseph O'Brien hasn't
helped by insisting on sticking with Battle of Marengo when I prefer Ruler Of
The World.
"Napoleon won the Battle of
Marengo and it's tempting to suggest O'Brien is suffering from a Napoleon
complex. Unfortunately, sufferers tend to be 5ft 6ins short rather than
O'Brien's 6ft 6in tall. Also, a jockey with a Napoleon complex might quite like
the idea of riding Ruler Of The World.
"So that's no good. I'll just
have to hope that the combined brains of the O'Brien family and Coolmore
collection aren't up to the task, or that it's a clever plot to get a better
price about Ruler Of The World, in which case, so far so good. I can't pretend
I'm confident, although Ryan Moore's appointment as jockey in charge was a
boost and, like many holders of the Victoria Cross (posthumous) , I'm sticking
to my guns.
"As you'll know, a selection
having been made, the task now is to think of reasons for crossing out all the
others, It would be quite nice for a German-trained horse to win, by way of a
change, but if Chopin does, the headlines will be horrible. Chopin does, Chopin
Waltzes to Victory, Chopin's Allegro at E, but worse.
"Worse still if Mars wins,
especially for bookmakers in Slough , where
it's been made since 1932. The planet, obviously, was made much earlier.
Ocovango seems to have been named
after an African river that ends up in a swamp in the Kalahari
desert . Still, Andre Fabre is a genius and if anyone can get
something from Botswana
"So, lay Dawn Approach, back
Ruler Of The World each-way, and don't blame me." Ends
JMC Dawn Approach on jumping from the
starting gate was extremely unsettled, the further he went the more frightened
and frantic he became. Kevin Manning had a dreadful experience, a tough and
extremely tricky time in the saddle throughout. So what caused all that? One is left to wonder. So unlike his normal
behaviour? A highly dangerous
predicament, that shows the public just how dangerous this sport can be.
Showing the world and his wife just how strong a horse can be when frightened
into a panic as bad as that, he was firing his head in the air, cocking his jaw
in complete terror, the further he went the worse he got. What ever caused all
that?
EQUUS ZONE
The immediate response of the Stewards should have been to
request an immediate Equus Zone dope test.
To check out the reasons behind this normally calm colts horrific traumatic
fear? What ever caused this? Why was
there not an immediate Stewards Inquiry? Where were the officials? Having a day off at the Derby
Where was the Stewards Inquiry? Defies all belief that there was no
stewards inquiry.
1. How could Dawn Approach when jumping from the starting gate
in yesterday's Derby possibly have know that he was being asked to race over a
mile and a half this time. He did not know. That clears that one up.
11. If a rider is put in a predicament as this, the very last
thing that rider needs to do is to start fighting against that colt, but
instead sit quietly for as long as is possible, until the fear in that colt
subsides. We have seen Tom Queally do this with Frankel. If Kevin Manning had
allowed himself to be carried along by Dawn Approach, taking up the running, and going a long way clear, would any of the
others have managed to catch him? It was the fighting between horse and rider
that broke Dawn Approach chances of winning this race. However it depends also
on what orders Kevin got before the race. If Kevin was being prevented by
others from actually reading this colt
as this race panned out to be. Then Kevin will have had no chance.Kevin's life was at stake, as was Dawn Approach life at stake. Due to Kevin's expertize in the saddle they managed to stay together.
Lee Mottershead for the Racing Post reports today (Sunday June 1st) "Approach won't be tried at trip again.

William Stanley, 19th Earl of Derby DL (born 10 October 1962) is a British
peer. He is known for ownership of the racehorse Ouija Board and for his failed attempts to
build a 1,200 houses and large industrial estate on 160 acres (0.65 km2)
of greenfield land he inherited in Newmarket, Suffolk. The plans were widely
criticised in the local[1]

Earl of Derby (

and died in 1279. Most of the Ferrers property and, by a creation in 1337, the Derby Stanley

In 1779, the sport of
horseracing was governed by a man named Sir Charles Bunbury. At that time no
races were run over a distance of less than two miles. Also, racing was for
horses aged four or older so the decision to permit three-year-old racing, and
at distances shorter than two miles, paved the way for a new era in the sport
